The '''Laser cutter''' cuts or engraves digital designs on a variety of materials. Laser cutting is a great way to rapidly prototype projects. <br />
<br />
An authorization workshop, hosted by an approved instructor, is required of all members before using the laser cutter. Workshops are posted on the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. Peer authorization is not an approved path for use of the laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Interfacing with the laser cutter is performed with [[Lightburn]].<br />
<br />
The laser cutter does require regular cleaning and alignment. This is to be performed by trained volunteers only.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: The focal length of the lens in Luigi is 63.5mm and not 50.8mm like Mario. The longer focal length is better for cutting, but not as good for engraving.'''<br />

===Safety===<br />
====Fire Safety====<br />
Laser cutters pose a fire hazard. A high intensity beam of laser light can produce extremely high temperatures as it comes into contact with the materials it is engraving, marking, or cutting. When using the laser cutter, remember:<br />
<br />
#You may only use the laser cutter if you have been officially authorized according to the machine access policy<br />
#'''Never''' leave the laser cutter unattended while it was powered on (even if it is not firing)<br />
#'''Never''' cut materials that you don't know are safe<br />
#'''Never''' override laser cutter safeties and switches<br />
#Know what to do if a fire happens<br />
##Move the head out of the way, if it's small.<br />
##Hint: Hit the big, <span style="color:red">red</span>, emergency stop button. This will shutdown the laser and the air supply<br />
##A Carbon Dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fire extinguisher is located next to the laser cutter<br />
##Verify it is out and then: <br />
###Place a note that a fire occurred and the machine is out of service.<br />
###Post on the [http://makeict.org/forum forum] about it, or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
###Someone from the laser group will check the machine, clean as necessary, and put it back into service.<br />
<br />
====Eye Safety====<br />
The laser is encased and will not fire unless the doors are shut. Do not bypass any safety lockouts or open panels without consulting the fablab lead first. Lasers can cause serious eye damage, even indirectly through scattered energy.<br />
====Air Safety====<br />
Many materials give off toxic fumes when cut. Do not cut unapproved, unknown or banned materials on the laser cutter. See the list of approved/banned materials on this wiki<br />
<br />
<br />
===Starting the laser cutter===<br />
<br />
#Press power button and scan your keycard<br />
#Make sure the air compressor, blower fans, and chiller are on<br />
#Machine will automatically home<br />
#Beware of flammable materials while using the machine<br />

<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - sample shape.jpg|thumb|Sample of hardboard - Letter shapes are engraved, outline is cut]]<br />
<br />
===When Finished===<br />
<br />
#Home the head<br />
#Remove media and clear debris<br />
#Power off<br />
<br />
===Rotary Axis===<br />
If you are using the rotary axis, refer to [[Laser_Cutter_Rotary_Axis | this page]]<br />
<br />
===Troubleshooting Guide===<br />
<br />
*'''Bed only travels downwards'''<br />
<br />
#Wiggle the probe and make sure its not jammed<br />
#Check to see if the upper z-limit switch is stuck<br />
#If none of these work, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Head does not home properly, move very slowly in Y axis'''<br />
<br />
#The machine is probably in rotary mode<br />
#Turn the machine on, hit 'esc' on the control panel to cancel homing, and disable the 'Enable rotary' setting in the control box with the 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons<br />
<br />
*'''Machine won't turn on'''<br />
<br />
#If the lights don't turn change when you scan your badge, unplug machine power for 5 seconds and re-plug<br />
#If the light turns red when you scan your badge, you are not authorized for the lasers<br />
#If the light turns green but the machine does not turn on, make sure the power switch is pressed and the emergency stop is not pressed<br />
<br />
#The emergency<br />
<br />
*'''Lines are cutting fuzzier and thicker than normal'''<br />
<br />
#Make sure you ran the autofocus<br />
#Try focusing the laser cutter by hand if you like '''and''' notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The laser doesn't fire'''<br />
<br />
#Open the door and reclose (the door switch might be flakey)<br />
#Check the door switch to make sure it is not broken (Close the lid. Look at the power supply. P0 on the power supply is an indicator of it being broken. A0 means it is ok. The power supply is in the left side of the cabinet behind the lower left door would indicate this is the case.)<br />
<br />
*'''Edges of cut pieces are slanted, rather than straight.'''<br />
<br />
::The Laser is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Fumes are not venting well.'''<br />
<br />
#Stop cutting<br />
#Ventilation fan needs to be cleaned, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The head hits the side of the machine. "Hard Limit Prot." error displayed on panel'''<br />
<br />
::Head position has been lost and the head has hit a limit switch. Reset the machine. If this continues to happen notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Can't run file, "Frame Slop" error displayed on panel.'''<br />
<br />
::The file is going to run off one of the edges of the machine. Change the starting position and/or resize your file so that it fits on the bed.<br />
<br />
==Speed and Power Settings==<br />
Every material and sometimes even every day is different, but here are some starting points:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!Material<br />
!Power (%)<br />
!Cut Rate (mm/s)<br />
|-<br />
|Masonite - 3/16"<br />
|50%<br />
|20<br />
|-<br />
|Plywood - 6mm<br />
|50%<br />
|15<br />
|-<br />
|Cardboard<br />
|50%<br />
|50<br />
|-<br />
|Engraving<br />
|2-30%<br />
|300-600<br />
|}<br />
<br />
It is always highly recommended that you do some small test cuts/engraves before running your full design, especially if it is large or uses valuable material and/or you haven't lasered it before. This can save you a lot headaches.<br />
==Materials==<br />
Cutting a bad material in the laser cutter can be dangerous. Only approved materials should be cut, and banned materials should never be placed in or even around the laser cutter. Cutting an unknown material risks bodily harm and damage to equipment/facilities.<br />

===Banned materials===<br />
These materials should '''never''' be processed in the laser cutter. This list is not exhaustive.<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
!Name!!DANGER!!WARNING<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)</div>||Emits cyanide gas and tends to melt||ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt).<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Chlorinated plastics (PVC/Poly Vinyl Chloride, vinyl/pleather/artificial leather)</div>||Emits pure chlorine gas when cut!||'''Don't ever cut this material''' as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system. Bubbles yellow, smokes alot, STINKS!!!!!<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Coated Carbon Fiber</div>||Emits noxious fumes||A mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying - but not when coated<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Fiberglass</div>||Emits fumes||It's a mix of two materials that cant' be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Galvanized metal</div>||Emits dangerous fumes||Zinc fumes are poisonous. Galvanized metal should never be super heated (so don't weld on it either).<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Metal</div>|| ||[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting#Power_consumption Power needed for LASER to cut metal]<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Milk bottles/HDPE</div>||Catches fire and melts||It melts, gets gooey. DON'T. Someone has to clean the hex worktable.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Mirrored surfaces</div>||Will not cut, reflects laser beam||Mirror surfaces can reflect the laser beam, damaging the cutter's interior components. Some mirrored materials can be placed reflective-side down and cut.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Polycarbonate/Lexan</div>||Cut very poorly, disbackground-color, catch fire||Polycarbonate is often found as flat, sheet material. The window of the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation! This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a poor choice for laser cutting.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, etc.</div>||Made of Polycarbonate.||<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">PolyPropylene Foam</div>||Catches fire||Like PolyStyrene, it melts, catches fire, and the melted drops continue to burn and turn into rock-hard drips and pebbles.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">PolyStyrene Foam</div>||Catches fire||Like PolyPropylene. It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. '''This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!'''<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Pressure treated wood</div>||Emits dangerous fumes||Should never be burned -- not in your fireplace, and definitely not in our LASER<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Printed circuit board (FR4 and other material types)</div>|| ||<br />

|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Unidentified plastics/rubbers </div>|| ||If you don't know what it is, don't put it in the LASER cutter<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Plastics from The Yard Store</div>||They do not properly identify their plastics||<br />

===Troubleshooting Guide===<br />
<br />
*'''Bed only travels downwards'''<br />
<br />
#Wiggle the probe and make sure its not jammed<br />
#Check to see if the upper z-limit switch is stuck<br />
#If none of these work, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Head does not home properly, move very slowly in Y axis'''<br />
<br />
#The machine is probably in rotary mode<br />
#Turn the machine on, hit 'esc' on the control panel to cancel homing, and disable the 'Enable rotary' setting in the control box with the 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons<br />
<br />
*'''Machine won't turn on'''<br />
#If the lights don't turn change when you scan your badge, unplug machine power for 5 seconds and re-plug<br />
#If the light turns red when you scan your badge, you are not authorized for the lasers<br />
#If the light turns green but the machine does not turn on, make sure the power switch is pressed and the emergency stop is not pressed<br />
<br />
#The emergency <br />
<br />
*'''Lines are cutting fuzzier and thicker than normal'''<br />
<br />
#Make sure you ran the autofocus<br />
#Try focusing the laser cutter by hand if you like '''and''' notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The laser doesn't fire'''<br />
<br />
#Open the door and reclose (the door switch might be flakey)<br />
#Check the door switch to make sure it is not broken (Close the lid. Look at the power supply. P0 on the power supply is an indicator of it being broken. A0 means it is ok. The power supply is in the left side of the cabinet behind the lower left door would indicate this is the case.)<br />
<br />
*'''Edges of cut pieces are slanted, rather than straight.'''<br />
<br />
::The Laser is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Fumes are not venting well.'''<br />
<br />
#Stop cutting<br />
#Ventilation fan needs to be cleaned, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The head hits the side of the machine. "Hard Limit Prot." error displayed on panel'''<br />
<br />
::Head position has been lost and the head has hit a limit switch. Reset the machine. If this continues to happen notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Can't run file, "Frame Slop" error displayed on panel.'''<br />
<br />
::The file is going to run off one of the edges of the machine. Change the starting position and/or resize your file so that it fits on the bed.<br />
<br />
==Speed and Power Settings==<br />
Every material and sometimes even every day is different, but here are some starting points:<br />
<br />

<br />
It is always highly recommended that you do some small test cuts/engraves before running your full design, especially if it is large or uses valuable material and/or you haven't lasered it before. This can save you a lot headaches.<br />
==Materials==<br />
Cutting a bad material in the laser cutter can be dangerous. Only approved materials should be cut, and banned materials should never be placed in or even around the laser cutter. Cutting an unknown material risks bodily harm and damage to equipment/facilities.<br />

===Banned materials===<br />
These materials should '''never''' be processed in the laser cutter. This list is not exhaustive.<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
!Name!!DANGER!!WARNING<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)</div>||Emits cyanide gas and tends to melt||ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt).<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Chlorinated plastics (PVC/Poly Vinyl Chloride, vinyl/pleather/artificial leather)</div>||Emits pure chlorine gas when cut!||'''Don't ever cut this material''' as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system. Bubbles yellow, smokes alot, STINKS!!!!!<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Coated Carbon Fiber</div>||Emits noxious fumes||A mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying - but not when coated<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Fiberglass</div>||Emits fumes||It's a mix of two materials that cant' be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Galvanized metal</div>||Emits dangerous fumes||Zinc fumes are poisonous. Galvanized metal should never be super heated (so don't weld on it either).<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Metal</div>|| ||[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting#Power_consumption Power needed for LASER to cut metal]<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Milk bottles/HDPE</div>||Catches fire and melts||It melts, gets gooey. DON'T. Someone has to clean the hex worktable.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Mirrored surfaces</div>||Will not cut, reflects laser beam||Mirror surfaces can reflect the laser beam, damaging the cutter's interior components. Some mirrored materials can be placed reflective-side down and cut.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Polycarbonate/Lexan</div>||Cut very poorly, disbackground-color, catch fire||Polycarbonate is often found as flat, sheet material. The window of the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation! This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a poor choice for laser cutting.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, etc.</div>||Made of Polycarbonate.||<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">PolyPropylene Foam</div>||Catches fire||Like PolyStyrene, it melts, catches fire, and the melted drops continue to burn and turn into rock-hard drips and pebbles.<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">PolyStyrene Foam</div>||Catches fire||Like PolyPropylene. It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. '''This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!'''<br />
|-<br />
|<div style="background-color:#cc3333; color:#ffffff;">Pressure treated wood</div>||Emits dangerous fumes||Should never be burned -- not in your fireplace, and definitely not in our LASER<br />

The '''Laser cutter''' cuts or engraves digital designs on a variety of materials. Laser cutting is a great way to rapidly prototype projects. <br />
<br />
An authorization workshop, hosted by an approved instructor, is required of all members before using the laser cutter. Workshops are posted on the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. Peer authorization is not an approved path for use of the laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Interfacing with the laser cutter is performed with [[Lightburn]].<br />
<br />
The laser cutter does require regular cleaning and alignment. This is to be performed by trained volunteers only.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: The focal length of the lens in Luigi is 63.5mm and not 50.8mm like Mario. The longer focal length is better for cutting, but not as good for engraving.'''<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
===Safety===<br />
====Fire Safety====<br />
Laser cutters pose a fire hazard. A high intensity beam of laser light can produce extremely high temperatures as it comes into contact with the materials it is engraving, marking, or cutting. When using the laser cutter, remember:<br />
<br />
#You may only use the laser cutter if you have been officially authorized according to the machine access policy<br />
#'''Never''' leave the laser cutter unattended while it was powered on (even if it is not firing)<br />
#'''Never''' cut materials that you don't know are safe<br />
#'''Never''' override laser cutter safeties and switches<br />
#Know what to do if a fire happens<br />
##Move the head out of the way, if it's small.<br />
##Hint: Hit the big, <span style="color:red">red</span>, emergency stop button. This will shutdown the laser and the air supply<br />
##A Carbon Dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fire extinguisher is located next to the laser cutter<br />
##Verify it is out and then: <br />
###Place a note that a fire occurred and the machine is out of service.<br />
###Post on the [http://makeict.org/forum forum] about it, or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
###Someone from the laser group will check the machine, clean as necessary, and put it back into service.<br />
<br />
====Eye Safety====<br />
The laser is encased and will not fire unless the doors are shut. Do not bypass any safety lockouts or open panels without consulting the fablab lead first. Lasers can cause serious eye damage, even indirectly through scattered energy.<br />
====Air Safety====<br />
Many materials give off toxic fumes when cut. Do not cut unapproved, unknown or banned materials on the laser cutter. See the list of approved/banned materials on this wiki<br />
<br />
<br />
===Starting the laser cutter===<br />
<br />
#Press power button and scan your keycard<br />
#Make sure the air compressor, blower fans, and chiller are on<br />
#Machine will automatically home<br />
#Beware of flammable materials while using the machine<br />
<br />
===Workflow===<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - inkscape.png|thumb|Design step 1: Create your design in your favorite graphics program]]<br />
<br />
#On any computer - [[Designing for the laser cutter | Create design]]<br />
#*'''Do not''' create your designs on the computers connected to the lasers<br />
#*LightBurn accepts the following file types:<br />
#**Vector: .svg, .ai, .pdf, .dxf, .hpgl, .plt,<br />
#**Raster: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .tga<br />
#**Project files: .rd, .lbrn<br />
#LightBurn - detailed steps: [[Lightburn]]<br />
##Import your file into Lightburn:<br />
##Separate operations into different layers for each speed and power setting<br />
##Save as .lbrn file<br />
#At the laser cutter computer<br />
##Check the calendar http://makeict.org/lasercutter to make sure you're not running into a reservation<br />
##Start LightBurn<br />
#Turn on the machine<br />
##Turn on the laser cutter using your badge and the green button<br />
##Wait for homing sequence to complete<br />
##Press Z/U on control panel and use left/right arrows to lower the bed until your material will fit under the head<br />
##Load media into cutter<br />
##Jog head to center of media using control panel<br />
##Focus to the top of the material<br />
##Move laser to desired starting point<br />
##Set Origin if desired<br />
##Press "Frame" to outline your job and check that it fits<br />
##Close lid then run job<br />
#After cut is finished allow ~30 seconds before opening to vent smoke/fumes<br />

The '''Laser cutter''' cuts or engraves digital designs on a variety of materials. Laser cutting is a great way to rapidly prototype projects. <br />
<br />
An authorization workshop, hosted by an approved instructor, is required of all members before using the laser cutter. Workshops are posted on the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. Peer authorization is not an approved path for use of the laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Interfacing with the laser cutter is performed with [[Lightburn]].<br />
<br />
The laser cutter does require regular cleaning and alignment. This is to be performed by trained volunteers only.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: The focal length of the lens in Luigi is 63.5mm and not 50.8mm like Mario. The longer focal length is better for cutting, but not as good for engraving.'''<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
===Safety===<br />
====Fire Safety====<br />
Laser cutters pose a fire hazard. A high intensity beam of laser light can produce extremely high temperatures as it comes into contact with the materials it is engraving, marking, or cutting. When using the laser cutter, remember:<br />
<br />
#You may only use the laser cutter if you have been officially authorized according to the machine access policy<br />
#'''Never''' leave the laser cutter unattended while it was powered on (even if it is not firing)<br />
#'''Never''' cut materials that you don't know are safe<br />
#'''Never''' override laser cutter safeties and switches<br />
#Know what to do if a fire happens<br />
##Move the head out of the way, if it's small.<br />
##Hint: Hit the big, <span style="color:red">red</span>, emergency stop button. This will shutdown the laser and the air supply<br />
##A Carbon Dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fire extinguisher is located next to the laser cutter<br />
##Verify it is out and then: <br />
###Place a note that a fire occurred and the machine is out of service.<br />
###Post on the [http://makeict.org/forum forum] about it, or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
###Someone from the laser group will check the machine, clean as necessary, and put it back into service.<br />
<br />
====Eye Safety====<br />
The laser is encased and will not fire unless the doors are shut. Do not bypass any safety lockouts or open panels without consulting the fablab lead first. Lasers can cause serious eye damage, even indirectly through scattered energy.<br />
====Air Safety====<br />
Many materials give off toxic fumes when cut. Do not cut unapproved, unknown or banned materials on the laser cutter. See the list of approved/banned materials on this wiki<br />
<br />
<br />
===Starting the laser cutter===<br />
<br />
#Press power button and scan your keycard<br />
#Make sure the air compressor, blower fans, and chiller are on<br />
#Machine will automatically home<br />
#Beware of flammable materials while using the machine<br />
<br />
===Workflow===<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - inkscape.png|thumb|Design step 1: Create your design in your favorite graphics program]]<br />
<br />
#On any computer - [[Designing for the laser cutter | Create design]]<br />
#*'''Do not''' create your designs on the computers connected to the lasers<br />
#*LightBurn accepts the following file types:<br />
#**Vector: .svg, .ai, .pdf, .dxf, .hpgl, .plt,<br />
#**Raster: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .tga<br />
#**Project files: .rd, .lbrn<br />
#LightBurn - detailed steps: [[Lightburn]]<br />
##Import your file into Lightburn:<br />
##Separate operations into different layers for each speed and power setting<br />
##Save as .lbrn file<br />
#At the laser cutter computer<br />
##Check the calendar http://makeict.org/lasercutter to make sure you're not running into a reservation<br />
##Start LightBurn<br />
#Turn on the machine<br />
##Turn on the laser cutter using your badge and the green button<br />
##Wait for homing sequence to complete<br />
##Press Z/U on control panel and use left/right arrows to lower the bed until your material will fit under the head<br />
##Load media into cutter<br />
##Jog head to center of media using control panel<br />
##Focus to the top of the material<br />
##Move laser to desired starting point<br />
##Set Origin if desired<br />
##Press "Frame" to outline your job and check that it fits<br />
##Close lid then run job<br />
#After cut is finished allow ~30 seconds before opening to vent smoke/fumes<br />
<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - sample shape.jpg|thumb|Sample of hardboard - Letter shapes are engraved, outline is cut]]<br />
<br />
===When Finished===<br />
<br />
#Home the head<br />
#Remove media and clear debris<br />
#Power off<br />
<br />
===Rotary Axis===<br />
If you are using the rotary axis, refer to [[Laser_Cutter_Rotary_Axis | this page]]<br />
<br />
===Troubleshooting Guide===<br />
<br />
*'''Bed only travels downwards'''<br />
<br />
#Wiggle the probe and make sure its not jammed<br />
#Check to see if the upper z-limit switch is stuck<br />
#If none of these work, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Head does not home properly, move very slowly in Y axis'''<br />
<br />
#The machine is probably in rotary mode<br />
#Turn the machine on, hit 'esc' on the control panel to cancel homing, and disable the 'Enable rotary' setting in the control box with the 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons<br />
<br />
*'''Machine won't turn on'''<br />
#If the lights don't turn change when you scan your badge, unplug machine power for 5 seconds and re-plug<br />
#If the light turns red when you scan your badge, you are not authorized for the lasers<br />
#If the light turns green but the machine does not turn on, make sure the power switch is pressed and the emergency stop is not pressed<br />
<br />
#The emergency <br />
<br />
*'''Lines are cutting fuzzier and thicker than normal'''<br />
<br />
#Make sure you ran the autofocus<br />
#Try focusing the laser cutter by hand if you like '''and''' notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The laser doesn't fire'''<br />
<br />
#Open the door and reclose (the door switch might be flakey)<br />
#Check the door switch to make sure it is not broken (Close the lid. Look at the power supply. P0 on the power supply is an indicator of it being broken. A0 means it is ok. The power supply is in the left side of the cabinet behind the lower left door would indicate this is the case.)<br />
<br />
*'''Edges of cut pieces are slanted, rather than straight.'''<br />
<br />
::The Laser is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Fumes are not venting well.'''<br />
<br />
#Stop cutting<br />
#Ventilation fan needs to be cleaned, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The head hits the side of the machine. "Hard Limit Prot." error displayed on panel'''<br />
<br />
::Head position has been lost and the head has hit a limit switch. Reset the machine. If this continues to happen notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Can't run file, "Frame Slop" error displayed on panel.'''<br />
<br />
::The file is going to run off one of the edges of the machine. Change the starting position and/or resize your file so that it fits on the bed.<br />
<br />
==Speed and Power Settings==<br />
Every material and sometimes even every day is different, but here are some starting points:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!Material<br />
!Power (%)<br />
!Cut Rate (mm/s)<br />
|-<br />
|Masonite - 3/16"<br />
|50%<br />
|20<br />
|-<br />
|Plywood - 6mm<br />
|50%<br />
|15<br />
|-<br />
|Cardboard<br />
|50%<br />
|50<br />
|-<br />
|Engraving<br />
|2-30%<br />
|300-600<br />
|}<br />
<br />
It is always highly recommended that you do some small test cuts/engraves before running your full design, especially if it is large or uses valuable material and/or you haven't lasered it before. This can save you a lot headaches.<br />
==Materials==<br />
Cutting a bad material in the laser cutter can be dangerous. Only approved materials should be cut, and banned materials should never be placed in or even around the laser cutter. Cutting an unknown material risks bodily harm and damage to equipment/facilities.<br />
<br />

The '''Laser cutter''' cuts or engraves digital designs on a variety of materials. Laser cutting is a great way to rapidly prototype projects. <br />
<br />
An authorization workshop, hosted by an approved instructor, is required of all members before using the laser cutter. Workshops are posted on the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. Peer authorization is not an approved path for use of the laser cutter.<br />
<br />
Interfacing with the laser cutter is performed with [[Lightburn]].<br />
<br />
The laser cutter does require regular cleaning and alignment. This is to be performed by trained volunteers only.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: The focal length of the lens in Luigi is 63.5mm and not 50.8mm like Mario. The longer focal length is better for cutting, but not as good for engraving.'''<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
===Safety===<br />
====Fire Safety====<br />
Laser cutters pose a fire hazard. A high intensity beam of laser light can produce extremely high temperatures as it comes into contact with the materials it is engraving, marking, or cutting. When using the laser cutter, remember:<br />
<br />
#You may only use the laser cutter if you have been officially authorized according to the machine access policy<br />
#'''Never''' leave the laser cutter unattended while it was powered on (even if it is not firing)<br />
#'''Never''' cut materials that you don't know are safe<br />
#'''Never''' override laser cutter safeties and switches<br />
#Know what to do if a fire happens<br />
##Move the head out of the way, if it's small.<br />
##Hint: Hit the big, <span style="color:red">red</span>, emergency stop button. This will shutdown the laser and the air supply<br />
##A Carbon Dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fire extinguisher is located next to the laser cutter<br />
##Verify it is out and then: <br />
###Place a note that a fire occurred and the machine is out of service.<br />
###Post on the [http://makeict.org/forum forum] about it, or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
###Someone from the laser group will check the machine, clean as necessary, and put it back into service.<br />
<br />
====Eye Safety====<br />
The laser is encased and will not fire unless the doors are shut. Do not bypass any safety lockouts or open panels without consulting the fablab lead first. Lasers can cause serious eye damage, even indirectly through scattered energy.<br />
====Air Safety====<br />
Many materials give off toxic fumes when cut. Do not cut unapproved, unknown or banned materials on the laser cutter. See the list of approved/banned materials on this wiki<br />
<br />
<br />
===Starting the laser cutter===<br />
<br />
#Press power button and scan your keycard<br />
#Make sure the air compressor, blower fans, and chiller are on<br />
#Machine will automatically home<br />
#Beware of flammable materials while using the machine<br />
<br />
===Workflow===<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - inkscape.png|thumb|Design step 1: Create your design in your favorite graphics program]]<br />
<br />
#On any computer - [[Designing for the laser cutter | Create design]]<br />
#*'''Do not''' create your designs on the computers connected to the lasers<br />
#*LightBurn accepts the following file types:<br />
#**Vector: .svg, .ai, .pdf, .dxf, .hpgl, .plt,<br />
#**Raster: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .tif, .tiff, .tga<br />
#**Project files: .rd, .lbrn<br />
#LightBurn - detailed steps: [[Lightburn]]<br />
##Import your file into Lightburn:<br />
##Separate operations into different layers for each speed and power setting<br />
##Save as .lbrn file<br />
#At the laser cutter computer<br />
##Check the calendar http://makeict.org/lasercutter to make sure you're not running into a reservation<br />
##Start LightBurn<br />
#Turn on the machine<br />
##Turn on the laser cutter using your badge and the green button<br />
##Wait for homing sequence to complete<br />
##Press Z/U on control panel and use left/right arrows to lower the bed until your material will fit under the head<br />
##Load media into cutter<br />
##Jog head to center of media using control panel<br />
##Focus to the top of the material<br />
##Move laser to desired starting point<br />
##Set Origin if desired<br />
##Press "Frame" to outline your job and check that it fits<br />
##Close lid then run job<br />
#After cut is finished allow ~30 seconds before opening to vent smoke/fumes<br />
<br />
[[File:Laser cutter design - sample shape.jpg|thumb|Sample of hardboard - Letter shapes are engraved, outline is cut]]<br />
<br />
===When Finished===<br />
<br />
#Home the head<br />
#Remove media and clear debris<br />
#Power off<br />
<br />
===Rotary Axis===<br />
If you are using the rotary axis, refer to [[Laser_Cutter_Rotary_Axis | this page]]<br />
<br />
===Troubleshooting Guide===<br />
<br />
*'''Bed only travels downwards'''<br />
<br />
#Wiggle the probe and make sure its not jammed<br />
#Check to see if the upper z-limit switch is stuck<br />
#If none of these work, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Head does not home properly, move very slowly in Y axis'''<br />
<br />
#The machine is probably in rotary mode<br />
#Turn the machine on, hit 'esc' on the control panel to cancel homing, and disable the 'Enable rotary' setting in the control box with the 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons<br />
<br />
*'''Machine won't turn on'''<br />
#If the lights don't turn change when you scan your badge, unplug machine power for 5 seconds and re-plug<br />
#If the light turns red when you scan your badge, you are not authorized for the lasers<br />
#If the light turns green but the machine does not turn on, make sure the power switch is pressed and the emergency stop is not pressed<br />
<br />
#The emergency <br />
<br />
*'''Lines are cutting fuzzier and thicker than normal'''<br />
<br />
#Make sure you ran the autofocus<br />
#Try focusing the laser cutter by hand if you like '''and''' notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The laser doesn't fire'''<br />
<br />
#Open the door and reclose (the door switch might be flakey)<br />
#Check the door switch to make sure it is not broken (Close the lid. Look at the power supply. P0 on the power supply is an indicator of it being broken. A0 means it is ok. The power supply is in the left side of the cabinet behind the lower left door would indicate this is the case.)<br />
<br />
*'''Edges of cut pieces are slanted, rather than straight.'''<br />
<br />
::The Laser is out of alignment and needs to be adjusted, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Fumes are not venting well.'''<br />
<br />
#Stop cutting<br />
#Ventilation fan needs to be cleaned, notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''The head hits the side of the machine. "Hard Limit Prot." error displayed on panel'''<br />
<br />
::Head position has been lost and the head has hit a limit switch. Reset the machine. If this continues to happen notify the fab lab team [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org]<br />
<br />
*'''Can't run file, "Frame Slop" error displayed on panel.'''<br />
<br />
::The file is going to run off one of the edges of the machine. Change the starting position and/or resize your file so that it fits on the bed.<br />
<br />
==Speed and Power Settings==<br />
Every material and sometimes even every day is different, but here are some starting points:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!Material<br />
!Power (%)<br />
!Cut Rate (mm/s)<br />
|-<br />
|Masonite - 3/16"<br />
|50%<br />
|20<br />
|-<br />
|Plywood - 6mm<br />
|50%<br />
|15<br />
|-<br />
|Cardboard<br />
|50%<br />
|50<br />
|-<br />
|Engraving<br />
|2-30%<br />
|300-600<br />
|}<br />
<br />
It is always highly recommended that you do some small test cuts/engraves before running your full design, especially if it is large or uses valuable material and/or you haven't lasered it before. This can save you a lot headaches.<br />
==Materials==<br />
Cutting a bad material in the laser cutter can be dangerous. Only approved materials should be cut, and banned materials should never be placed in or even around the laser cutter. Cutting an unknown material risks bodily harm and damage to equipment/facilities.<br />
<br />

Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.<br />
<br />
We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as laptops 1-6. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.<br />
<br />
To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.<br />
<br />
Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.<br />
<br />
G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.<br />
<br />
The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:<br />
<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa1.makeict.org prusa1.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa2.makeict.org prusa2.makeict.org]<br />

*Creality CR-10s: [http://creality.makeict.org creality.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus: [http://Ender5.makeict.org ender5.makeict.org]<br />
<br />
To run a print: select your file and click the print button.<br />
<br />
===Changing Filament===<br />
The process for changing filament varies slightly between the Prusas and the rest of the printers, but all of them use the filament change menus on the LCD control panel. Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.<br />
<br />
==General Use Tips==<br />
<br />
*'''Always''' watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.<br />
**If the first layer does not adhere properly the print will fail and make a big mess, potentially damaging the machine.<br />
<br />
*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.<br />
<br />
*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.<br />
<br />
*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''<br />
<br />
*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used<br />
<br />
*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!<br />
*'''NEVER''' use metal scrapers to remove prints from the Prusa printers. You will damage the print surface. Remove the spring steel sheet and bend it to detach printed objects from the surface.<br />

<div>Sorry to hear that you're leaving MakeICT! This page is here to tell you how to cancel your membership.<br />
<br />
==How to stop payments==<br />
Members can stop paying dues at any time, lapsed dues will terminate your membership. If you were paying by cash/check, just don't turn in any more dues.<br />
<br />
If you were paying with paypal, log in and cancel your subscription to MakeICT, along with any other services you are no longer using in paypal:<br />
[https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-is-an-automatic-payment-and-how-do-i-update-or-cancel-one-help240 https://www.paypal.com/cs/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-cancel-a-subscription-faq577]<br />
<br />
<s>You can also log in to https://makeict.wildapricot.org to disable automatic dues payments. However, this method has occasionally failed to cancel the underlying PayPal payments, so it is not recommended.</s><br />
<br />
Cancelling recurring payments in Wild Apricot DOES NOT WORK! Payments must be cancelled through PayPal.<br />
<br />
We do not require you to turn in your badge; it will be de-activated automatically. Keep it safe and it can be re-activated if you join again in the future.<br />
<br />
MakeICT does not refund dues for unused membership time.<br />
<br />
==Let us know==<br />
While it's not required, we would really appreciate it if you'd send us an email at info@makeict.org to tell us why you cancelled your membership. If you prefer to tell us anonymously, fill out our <br />

<div>==Installing==<br />
You can download a 30-day trial of Lightburn here: https://lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy<br />
<br />
If you want to use it for more than 30 days on your personal machine you will need to purchase a license. The license normally costs $120, but we have a discount code to get it for $30 if you are only using it with the machines at MakeICT. Email fablab@makeict.org to get the code. You will use this discount code during the checkout process on their [https://lightburnsoftware.com/collections/frontpage/products/lightburn-dsp online store]. We use the DSP version for our machines. Otherwise you can use one of the laptops or the design computer in the Fab Lab.<br />
<br />
When you first run Lightburn you will need to add settings for a laser cutter. You can add the settings for our machines by clicking the 'Import preferences' button and importing one of the settings files on this page.<br />
<br />
There isn't a huge difference between the settings on our machines, so it doesn't really matter which you download and use. Alternatively you can just go through the configuration steps, choose the Ruida controller, set the origin to the upper right, and set the dimensions to 1200x900. That will get you close enough.<br />

'''''DO NOT SPRAY BED WITH HAIRSPRAY!'''''<br />
<br />
=== Before Printing ===<br />
In order for prints to adhere properly the bed must be clean. Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol (NOT acetone!) before a print to ensure that the bed is free of oils and dust. There are some special cases for bed preparation depending on the material used. '''Certain materials can damage the bed surface if not used properly'''. Check this chart for more info: https://help.prusa3d.com/en/materials . This will show you which bed is best for the material that you are using. Always check that the correct bed type is selected on the LCD menu before starting your print. Using the wrong setting can damage the bed or prevent proper adhesion.<br />
<br />
See this link for more information on bed preparation: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/6Gtws6Yqjg-pei-print-surface-preparation<br />
<br />
=== Filament Change ===<br />
*Press the click wheel once for menu<br />
*Select preheat and choose the appropriate material<br />
*Once heated, press the click wheel for menu<br />
*Scroll down and choose 'Unload Filament'<br />
*Remove filament immediately<br />
*Insert new material and it should automatically load<br />
** If it doesn't load automatically, select 'Autoload Filament' or 'Load Filament' from the menu and follow prompts<br />
<br />
=== Print Removal ===<br />
'''''DO NOT USE SCRAPERS!'''''<br />
<br />
Lift the spring steel sheet off of the bed by the front corners. Gently flex the bed in both directions until the print loosens enough to be removed.<br />

'''''DO NOT SPRAY BED WITH HAIRSPRAY!'''''<br />
<br />
=== Before Printing ===<br />
In order for prints to adhere properly the bed must be clean. Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol (NOT acetone!) before a print to ensure that the bed is free of oils and dust. There are some special cases for bed preparation depending on the material used. '''Certain materials can damage the bed surface if not used properly'''. Check this chart for more info: https://help.prusa3d.com/en/materials . This will show you which bed is best for the material that you are using. Always check that the correct bed type is selected on the LCD menu before starting your print. Using the wrong setting can damage the bed or prevent proper adhesion.<br />
<br />
See this link for more information on bed preparation: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/6Gtws6Yqjg-pei-print-surface-preparation<br />
<br />
=== Filament Change ===<br />
*Press the click wheel once for menu<br />
*Select preheat and choose the appropriate material<br />
*Once heated, press the click wheel for menu<br />
*Scroll down and choose 'Unload Filament'<br />
*Remove filament immediately<br />
*Insert new material and it should automatically load<br />
** If it doesn't load automatically, select 'Autoload Filament' or 'Load Filament' from the menu and follow prompts<br />
<br />
=== Print Removal ===<br />
'''''DO NOT USE SCRAPERS!'''''<br />
<br />
Lift the spring steel sheet off of the bed by the front corners. Gently flex the bed in both directions until the print loosens enough to be removed.<br />

==About==<br />
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the creation of real-world, tangible objects from 3D virtual models. MakeICT maintains the following 3D printers:<br />
<br />
*[[Ultimaker 2]]<br />
*[[Creality CR-10S]]<br />
*[[Prusa i3 MK3]] (x3)<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus<br />
<br />
==Machine Access Policy==<br />
Use of the 3D printers requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizor or attendance in a 3D printer workshop that includes authorization.<br />
<br />
*Any member who has been authorized to use the 3D printer may peer-authorize other members<br />
*Authorization instruction must at least include<br />
**Fundamental knowledge of each printer's working principles<br />
**Proper use and control of each printer<br />
**Software workflow<br />
**How to change filament<br />
**How to pay for material<br />
<br />
==Filament Fund==<br />
Printing with filament provided by MakeICT costs $0.04 per gram. After printing, please weigh your print using the provided scale and put the appropriate amount of money in the filament fund jar. If you have any requests for new colors/types of filaments, you can post them in the Fab Lab category on [https://talk.makeict.org our forum], or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org].<br />
<br />
==Workflow==<br />
===Slicing===<br />
Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.<br />
<br />
We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as laptops 1-6. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.<br />
<br />
To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.<br />
<br />
Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.<br />
<br />
G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.<br />
<br />
The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:<br />
<br />
*Ultimaker 2: [http://ultimaker.makeict.org ultimaker.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus: [http://Ender5.makeict.org ender5.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality CR-10s: [http://creality.makeict.org creality.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa1.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa2.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa3.makeict.org]<br />
<br />
To run a print: select your file and click the print button.<br />
<br />
===Changing Filament===<br />
The process for changing filament varies slightly between the Prusas and the rest of the printers, but all of them use the filament change menus on the LCD control panel. Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.<br />
<br />
==General Use Tips==<br />
<br />
*'''Always''' watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.<br />
**If the first layer does not adhere properly the print will fail and make a big mess, potentially damaging the machine.<br />
<br />
*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.<br />
<br />
*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.<br />
<br />
*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''<br />
<br />
*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used<br />
<br />
*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!<br />
*'''NEVER''' use metal scrapers to remove prints from the Prusa printers. You will damage the print surface. Remove the spring steel sheet and bend it to detach printed objects from the surface.<br />

<div>This is a flatbed vinyl cutter and plotter. It works.<br />
<br />
[[File:Graphtec_fc2200.gif]]<br />
<br />
==Workflow==<br />
===Create the file===<br />
<br />
*Create/import a file in Inkscape<br />
*Select all<br />
*Path > Object To Path<br />
*Check that lines are what you expect by turning of all fills and turning on all strokes. The lines that you see are the ones that will be cut.<br />
*File > Save A Copy> choose .hpgl extension<br />
**'''Make sure that "Tool offset correction" is set to 0 or your cut will be very bad.'''<br />
<br />
===Test and adjust settings===<br />
<br />
==== Tool setup ====<br />
<br />
* Insert the tool you plan to use in one of the tool holder and tighten<br />
* If you are using a cutting tool the blade '''should not''' be sticking out farther than the thickness that you want to cut<br />
* Sample settings can be found below<br />
<br />
====Test====<br />
<br />
*Press 'Test' button<br />
*Position cutter in an unused area<br />
*Press '1' for Test 1<br />
*The machine will cut a triangle inside a square<br />
**The square should peel away cleanly without peeling the triangle<br />
**When the triangle is removed there should only be a very faint outline on the backing<br />
<br />
====Adjust====<br />
<br />
*Press the 'Condition' button to change settings<br />
*Use the '1' and '2' buttons to move the cursor<br />
*Use the '3' and '4' buttons to adjust the selected setting<br />
*If you are having cut issues, cranking the blade all the way out is '''NOT''' the solution<br />
*Consult the manuals under the machine for troubleshooting tips<br />
<br />
===Run the file===<br />
<br />
*Go to http://graphtec.makeict.org:5000<br />
*Click the blue button to open the file menu<br />
*Scroll to the bottom of the list and click the upload button<br />
*Select file in system menu<br />
*To set active file, click filename in list<br />
*Click green button to run file<br />
<br />
==Settings==<br />
===Small Blade (Blue Knob)===<br />
'''Cutter Offset: 17'''<br />
====Starting point for vinyl:====<br />
<br />
*Stickout: 0.2mm<br />
*Force:18<br />
*Speed:10<br />
*Quality:1<br />
<br />
===Large Blade (Red Knob)===<br />
'''Cutter Offset: 28'''<br />
<br />
===Sharpie===<br />
'''Cutter Offset: 0'''<br />
<br />
*Force:5<br />
*Speed:15<br />
*Quality:1<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
<br />
*After saving the HPGL file open it up in Inkscape to verify the output looks right. If there are issues, go back to the source file and save it as a PDF. Open the PDF in Inkscape and then save as HPGL. This has fixed all of the conversion issues we have run into so far.<br />
*If you get an error in inkscape when saving the HPGL that says the file cannot be saved, just copy everything into a new file and save it there. For some reason this works.<br />

<br />
*Turn machine on and lower the bed until there is sufficient height for the gantry to clear the rubber wheels on the rotary<br />
*Turn machine off and make sure the head is positioned at the far right side of the gantry<br />
*Place Rotary attachment in desired position on bed<br />
**Set it on top of a piece of scrap material to avoid damaging the honeycomb<br />
*With the Laser Cutter '''''OFF''''', plug rotary in to plug at right-hand side of machine and screw it in<br />
**'''Plugging/unplugging the rotary with the machine on can destroy the motor driver. DON’T DO IT!'''<br />
*Place the ''Precision Alignment Tool™'' on on the rollers with the flats facing towards the gantry<br />
*Press the flats up against the gantry to align, making sure the tool sits snugly on the wheels<br />
*Remove the alignment tool and double check that the '''head is to the right of the rotary attachment'''<br />
*Turn machine back on and hit "ESC" on the control panel to cancel homing<br />
*Press "Z/U" to open the menu and press the up arrow once to select "Reset Axes" and hit "Enter"<br />
*Select "Reset X Axis" and hit enter to home the X axis independently<br />
*Lower Bed to sufficient clearance for the workpiece and place it on the rubber wheels<br />
*Set the focus to your piece over the right-hand set of rubber wheels using the gauge block<br />
**Don't use the auto-focus as it puts too much pressure on the rotary<br />
*Move the head over the left-hand rubber wheels and set the height offset using the adjustment knob on the rotary<br />
*In Lightburn, go to 'Tools > Rotary Setup' and confirm the following settings:<br />
**'Roller' is selected<br />
**'Steps per rotation is' set to 288<br />
**Roller Diameter is set to 1.000mm<br />
**'Enable Rotary' slider is enabled (green)<br />
**The other settings don't seem to matter<br />
*Position the head at the desired start point and proceed as normal<br />
*When you are done, disable rotary mode '''before''' turning off the machine<br />
**If you don't do this the machine will not work properly for the next person using it for flat material.<br />
*'''Turn the machine off BEFORE unplugging the rotary'''<br />
*Remove rotary and put it away<br />
*Turn the machine back on and test that the machine homes and moves properly.<br />
**If the Y axis moves very slowly it is still in rotary mode. Cancel the homing sequence by hitting 'esc' and disable rotary mode in Lightburn.<br />

<br />
*The magic number is '''288'''<br />
**Or at least pretty close. This number may be tweaked a little bit in the future.<br />
*If you are engraving an Item that has multiple diameters (like a wine bottle) and the diameter that is being driven by the wheels is not the same as the diameter being engraved on, you’ll need to do some math.<br />
**A Diameter = 114.6 x (Engrave Diameter / Drive Diameter)<br />
*If you are engraving on a tapered surface, your engraving will also be tapered, unless you skew the image before importing it.<br />
**This will need to be done in an external program<br />
**[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EemdWVQkUzgvltecQ4Er-gBORC276jbm1JkkpIyu7WU/edit?usp=sharing Here are some instructions on how to do it for vectors in Inkscape]<br />
*If you want the design to wrap all the way around the Y height will need to be equal to the circumference of the workpiece (can be tricky to join perfectly)<br />
**C = pi x Engrave Diameter<br />
*If the workpiece is too light and/or smooth it may slip on the rollers. <br />
**Weights can be used to eliminate this. Chunks of putty/clay work well for glasses.<br />

<hr />
<div>Sorry to hear that you're leaving MakeICT! This page is here to tell you how to cancel your membership.<br />
<br />
==How to stop payments==<br />
Members can stop paying dues at any time, lapsed dues will terminate your membership. If you were paying by cash/check, just don't turn in any more dues.<br />
<br />
If you were paying with paypal, log in and cancel your subscription to MakeICT, along with any other services you are no longer using in paypal:<br />
https://www.paypal.com/cs/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-cancel-a-subscription-faq577<br />
<br />
<s>You can also log in to https://makeict.wildapricot.org to disable automatic dues payments. However, this method has occasionally failed to cancel the underlying PayPal payments, so it is not recommended.</s><br />
<br />
Cancelling recurring payments in Wild Apricot DOES NOT WORK! Payments must be cancelled through PayPal.<br />
<br />
We do not require you to turn in your badge; it will be de-activated automatically. Keep it safe and it can be re-activated if you join again in the future.<br />
<br />
MakeICT does not refund dues for unused membership time.<br />
<br />
==Let us know==<br />
While it's not required, we would really appreciate it if you'd send us an email at info@makeict.org to tell us why you cancelled your membership. If you prefer to tell us anonymously, fill out our <br />
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1-4xg6WF3Eqz9K7WllfnET7qdwRCCkw5cvnnTu2o1c11t7g/viewform?usp=sf_link lapsed member survey].</div>Christian Kindelhttps://wiki.makeict.org/index.php?title=3D_Printing&diff=72323D Printing2021-11-22T19:02:21Z<p>Christian Kindel: Remove authorized users section; moved to WA</p>

==About==<br />
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the creation of real-world, tangible objects from 3D virtual models. MakeICT maintains the following 3D printers:<br />
<br />
*[[Ultimaker 2]]<br />
*[[Rostock Max v2]]<br />
*[[Creality CR-10S]]<br />
*[[Prusa i3 MK3]]<br />
<br />
==Machine Access Policy==<br />
Use of the 3D printers requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizor or attendance in a 3D printer workshop that includes authorization.<br />
<br />
*Any member who has been authorized to use the 3D printer may peer-authorize other members<br />
*Authorization instruction must at least include<br />
**Fundamental knowledge of each printer's working principles<br />
**Proper use and control of each printer<br />
**Software workflow<br />
**How to change filament<br />
**How to pay for material<br />
<br />
==Filament Fund==<br />
Printing with filament provided by MakeICT costs $0.04 per gram. After printing, please weigh your print using the provided scale and put the appropriate amount of money in the filament fund jar. If you have any requests for new colors/types of filaments, you can post them in the Fab Lab category on [https://talk.makeict.org our forum], or send an email to fablab@makeict.org.<br />
<br />
==Workflow==<br />
===Slicing===<br />
Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.<br />
<br />
We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as laptops 1-6. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.<br />
<br />
To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.<br />
<br />
Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.<br />
<br />
G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.<br />
<br />
The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:<br />
<br />
*Ultimaker 2: [http://ultimaker.makeict.org ultimaker.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus: [http://Ender5.makeict.org ender5.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality CR-10: [http://creality.makeict.org creality.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa.makeict.org]<br />
<br />
To run a print: select your file and click the print button.<br />
<br />
===Changing Filament===<br />
The process for changing filament depends on the printer you are using. For the [[Prusa i3 MK3|Prusa]] and the [[Creality CR-10S|Creality]] you will need to use the LCD menu. For the [[Ultimaker II|Ultimaker]] you can use the LCD menu or you can just set the temperature appropriately, squeeze the release lever, and pull the filament out/ push it in manually. The Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.<br />
<br />
==General Use Tips==<br />
<br />
*Always watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.<br />
<br />
*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.<br />
<br />
*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.<br />
<br />
*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''<br />
<br />
*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used<br />
<br />
*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!<br />

We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as laptops 1-6. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.<br />
<br />
To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.<br />
<br />
Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.<br />
<br />
G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.<br />
<br />
The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:<br />
<br />
*Ultimaker 2: [http://ultimaker.makeict.org ultimaker.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus: [http://Ender5.makeict.org ender5.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality CR-10: [http://creality.makeict.org creality.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa.makeict.org]<br />
<br />
To run a print: select your file and click the print button.<br />
<br />
===Changing Filament===<br />
The process for changing filament depends on the printer you are using. For the [[Prusa i3 MK3|Prusa]] and the [[Creality CR-10S|Creality]] you will need to use the LCD menu. For the [[Ultimaker II|Ultimaker]] you can use the LCD menu or you can just set the temperature appropriately, squeeze the release lever, and pull the filament out/ push it in manually. The Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.<br />
<br />
==General Use Tips==<br />
<br />
*Always watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.<br />
<br />
*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.<br />
<br />
*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.<br />
<br />
*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''<br />
<br />
*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used<br />
<br />
*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!<br />

==About==<br />
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the creation of real-world, tangible objects from 3D virtual models. MakeICT maintains the following 3D printers:<br />
<br />
*[[Ultimaker 2]]<br />
*[[Rostock Max v2]]<br />
*[[Creality CR-10S]]<br />
*[[Prusa i3 MK3]]<br />
<br />
==Machine Access Policy==<br />
Use of the 3D printers requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizor or attendance in a 3D printer workshop that includes authorization.<br />
<br />
*Any member who has been authorized to use the 3D printer may peer-authorize other members<br />
*Authorization instruction must at least include<br />
**Fundamental knowledge of each printer's working principles<br />
**Proper use and control of each printer<br />
**Software workflow<br />
**How to change filament<br />
**How to pay for material<br />
<br />
==Filament Fund==<br />
Printing with filament provided by MakeICT costs $0.04 per gram. After printing, please weigh your print using the provided scale and put the appropriate amount of money in the filament fund jar. If you have any requests for new colors/types of filaments, you can post them in the Fab Lab category on [https://talk.makeict.org our forum], or send an email to fablab@makeict.org.<br />
<br />
==Workflow==<br />
===Slicing===<br />
Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.<br />
<br />

<div>MakeICT's classroom is a 750 sq ft area for workshops/classes, events, and shared workspace. It will provide a modern learning environment with all the tools needed by an instructor or student for teaching or learning.<br />
<br />
==Access Policy==<br />
===Classroom===<br />
The classroom is reserved for workshops and classes according to the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. It can also be reserved by members following this policy:<br />
<blockquote>A keyed-member in good standing may host a private meeting/event at the MakeICT makerspace as long as they are not charging a fee. If any rooms or resources are to be held or if the number of non-member guests exceeds the Guest Policy allowance, a reservation must be submitted and approved 14 days in advanced. The host member is responsible/liable for activities of their guests, and all guests must follow official guest policies. There is no fee for this resource to our members, but a donation is suggested to offset facility costs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Fill out the [http://makeict.org/reservations/ reservation form] to reserve the classroom for private meetings/events.<br />
<br />
During times when it hasn't been reserved, it shall be considered a shared workspace.<br />
<br />
===Laptops===<br />
Members using the laptops agree to return them to the proper shelf and plug them in when finished, and keep them out of dirty and dusty areas such as the metal shop, wood shop, and ceramics room. The laptops are not to be removed from the Makerspace. To protect your personal information, it is strongly recommended to only access the internet from an Incognito window, and properly log out of all websites when finished browsing.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Installing==<br />
You can download a 30-day trial of Lightburn here: https://lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy<br />
<br />
If you want to use it for more than 30 days on your personal machine you will need to purchase a license. The license normally costs $120, but we have a discount code to get it for $30 if you are only using it with the machines at MakeICT. Email fablab@makeict.org to get the code. You will use this discount code during the checkout process on their [https://lightburnsoftware.com/collections/frontpage/products/lightburn-dsp online store]. We use the DSP version for our machines. Otherwise you can use one of the laptops (currently installed only on numbers 1-8) or the design computer in the Fab Lab.<br />
<br />
Once Lightburn is installed you can copy the settings for our laser cutter into the appropriate place on your machine. Copy one of the settings files and rename it 'prefs.ini'. Open your Lightburn prefs folder (File > Open prefs folder) then close Lightburn. Remove the existing prefs.ini file and replace it with the one you downloaded. When you restart Lightburn you should have all the correct settings for our machines. There isn't a huge difference between the settings on our machines, so it doesn't really matter which you download and use. Alternatively you can just go through the configuration steps, choose the Ruida controller, set the origin to the upper right, and set the dimensions to 1200x900. That will get you close enough.<br />

[[Category:best practices]]</div>Christian Kindelhttps://wiki.makeict.org/index.php?title=Woodshop_Area&diff=7141Woodshop Area2021-07-29T17:14:17Z<p>Christian Kindel: fix a couple issues with wood sources list</p>
<hr />
<div>==General Information==<br />
MakeICT's woodshop consists of 2 rooms dedicated to wood working.<br />
<br />
[[User:Doug Wilson|Doug Wilson]] is the Area Lead over the woodshop.<br />
<br />
The goal of the shop space is to encourage safe, continued learning of the skills needed to further your knowledge of woodworking!<br />
<br />
==Woodworking Terminology Glossary==<br />
<br />
*[http://www.popularwoodworking.com/tools/woodworking-glossary Popular Woodworking Magazine]<br />
<br />

<br />
==Machine Access Policy==<br />
{{:Woodshop_Access_Policy}}<br />
<br />
==Specific Tools==<br />
Please use the DeWalt DWV012 HEPA tool actuated dust extractor for capturing sanding dust connected to sanders to gather the fine sanding dust at the source, it is not a shop vacuum.<br />
[[File:DWV012.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==General Shop Safety==<br />
<br />
#Do not use any machine you are not trained on and comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help. Do not force tools.<br />
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug and leave a note on the machine and notify the Woodshop Lead.<br />
#NEVER ASSUME A TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. Always check the tool prior to use.<br />
#Wear safety glasses at all times when in the shop area, including near the machine shop.<br />
#Ear protection is also recommended, many of the tools operate above 90 decibels and without protection, you are losing hearing.<br />
#When using power tools (including hand power tools):<br />
#*No open-toed shoes or loose clothing (remove drawstrings)<br />
#*Remove objects on hands and wrists (including rings, bracelets, & watches)<br />
#*Remove dangly necklaces, hair ornaments, and earrings<br />
#*Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement<br />
#*Do not wear gloves when operating machinery<br />
#While hand tools are safer than most power tools, they are the cause of most workshop injuries. Make sure all hand tools are sharp and in good condition. Be certain that you know how to use these tools in a way that is safe, effective, and will not damage the tool.<br />
#Do not leave machines running unattended.<br />
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator notices you.<br />
#Be aware of the work going on around you. Do not accidentally bump into another person or their materials while they are working.<br />
#Most shop accidents are caused by working tired, rushed or distracted. As you get more experience, you will learn to listen to the little voice in the back of your mind that says, you probably shouldn't do that. Stop and think, there is usually a safer way of performing that function. These machines do not have a brain, please use yours!<br />
<br />
==Woodshop Specific Safety==<br />
<br />
#All powered woodcutting and sanding tools must be run with dust collection or vacuum equipment connected to the appropriate ports and on at all times. Do not switch the dust collector on and off without time to cool, if you are planning on working with multiple tools, leave the collector on (repeated quickly turning on and off will overheat the motor).<br />
#Smoke or sparks are bad signs in the woodshop. Stop what you are doing and correct the problem. Usually correct feed and depth of cut or getting a sharp bit / blade will help.<br />
#No metal cutting allowed on woodshop equipment.<br />
#No wet or damp items of any type (including drink containers, rags, or hands) may be placed or left on machine surfaces as they will corrode.<br />
#Do not lean or sit on machinery, these are precision pieces of equipment and you can mis-align them.<br />
#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away immediately after use. Scrap wood should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.<br />
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.<br />
#Do not use stationary equipment work surfaces for sanding, project assembly, layout, applying finishes, etc. Or for uses other than their intended purpose.<br />
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.<br />
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.<br />
#Use equipment only for its intended use.<br />
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.<br />
#Make sure the machine’s work surface is unobstructed and clean before use.<br />
#Always be aware of the proximity of moving machine parts to body parts - fingers.<br />
#Defects in the wood can be dangerous. Check the stock carefully for knots, splits, and other defects.<br />
#Keep the machine clean. Remove all tools, lumber, and unnecessary materials.<br />
#Objects left on the machine can vibrate into revolving cutters. They can then be thrown from the machine with great force. Never clean a machine while it is running.<br />
#All guests are the responsibility of the member, guests are not allowed to use equipment, unless authorized. This is a working shop, so children less than 9 years old are not allowed for safety.<br />
#DO NOT cut anything conductive such as mirrored acrylic, carbon based materials, or laser cutter waste on the Saw Stop tablesaw, the charred areas are carbon and because carbon is conductive, will set off the brake cartridge.<br />
#Member will be responsible for replacing the blade and Sawstop brake if the brake is fired for anything other than a true safety firing. If it is a true safety firing, we will need a photo of the fresh wound and SawStop will evaluate the recorded cartridge memory. If SawStop deems it to be a safety firing, they will need the photo and a release for marketing use and they send a replacement cartridge.<br />

==Commercial Sources for Wood==<br />
<br />
Purchasing hardwood lumber is very different from purchasing construction lumber. Note that Hardwood Lumber is a botanical term and is not related to the relative hardness of the wood. Hardwoods shed their leaves in the fall. Softwoods are evergreen. That is a general rule, and there are exceptions. Note also that Balsa and Basswood are classified as Hardwoods.<br />
<br />
See Wikipedia for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber#North_American_hardwoods more detail on terms, definitions, and practices involved in purchasing hardwoods in the US].<br />

<hr />
<div>MakeICT's classroom is a 750 sq ft area for workshops/classes, events, and shared workspace. It will provide a modern learning environment with all the tools needed by an instructor or student for teaching or learning.<br />
<br />
==Access Policy==<br />
===Classroom===<br />
The classroom is reserved for workshops and classes according to the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. It can also be reserved by members following this policy:<br />
<blockquote>A keyed-member in good standing may host a private meeting/event at the MakeICT makerspace as long as they are not charging a fee. If any rooms or resources are to be held or if the number of non-member guests exceeds the Guest Policy allowance, a reservation must be submitted and approved 14 days in advanced. The host member is responsible/liable for activities of their guests, and all guests must follow official guest policies. There is no fee for this resource to our members, but a donation is suggested to offset facility costs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Fill out the [http://makeict.org/reservations/ reservation form] to reserve the classroom for private meetings/events.<br />
<br />
During times when it hasn't been reserved, it shall be considered a shared workspace.<br />
<br />
===Laptops===<br />
Members using the laptops agree to return them to the proper shelf and plug them in when finished, and keep them out of dirty and dusty areas such as the metal shop, wood shop, and ceramics room. The laptops are not to be removed from the Makerspace. To protect your personal information, it is strongly recommended to only access the internet from an Incognito window, and properly log out of all websites when finished browsing.<br />

#*You need to be connected to the MakeICT network<br />
#Choose "Have disk"<br />
#Browse to the folder where you extracted the driver and click "OK"<br />
#Choose "HP DesignJect 1050c by HP" and click "Next"<br />
#Give the printer a name, etc. (this part is up to you)`<br />
#Done. The printer should now be installed.<br />

=Printer Operation=<br />
Printer drivers are installed on Laptop 1.<br />
<br />
# Turn printer on<br />
#Follow on-screen instructions<br />
#Print stuff<br />
#If it warns you about a degraded printhead, ignore it<br />
<br />
=James' Ramblings=<br />
<br />
MakeICT has a Plotter, which now works, after a fair bit of effort. It is an HP Designjet 1050c Plus and it resides in the classroom. This page is a work in progress. <br />
<br />
For now, please see James for the settings (as they are subject to change.) <br />
<br />
You will need the drivers on Windows or Mac, these are available [https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-designjet-1000-printer-series/24023/model/12607 here on HP's site]. <br />
<br />
Note that not all programs will handle things well, If you print to it from Inkscape, which works well for both vector and raster images (and unlike most programs, handles the paper sizes correctly. Make sure to use Version 0.92 to print to the plotter, because of a [http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92#Notable_Bugfixes bug] fixed on 0.92. <br />
<br />
As of right now, the printer will show up at 192.0.0.192, when you plug into the yellow network cable, you will need to configure the computer to accommodate that. <br />
<br />
Printing at 300dpi works, but in a few cases, 600 (the theoretical max, in one case) led to issues with it stopping, and printing black. After a short period of operation, a squeal has been observed, which disappears after a short bit (generally after about 50mm or 2 inches), and does not appear to affect operations. (This occurred while printing on posterboard, which is somewhat heavy, near the beginning, so it might be due to that.)<br />
<br />
Due to the cost of ink, and replacement parts, we will likely need to charge, similarly to the 3D printer consumables. An estimate for consumables suggests that $0.50 per square foot, if it has much black, or $0.25 if it's got color only.</div>Christian Kindelhttps://wiki.makeict.org/index.php?title=Woodshop_Area&diff=7029Woodshop Area2021-05-27T19:41:44Z<p>Christian Kindel: /* General Information */</p>

<div>==General Information==<br />
MakeICT's woodshop consists of 2 rooms dedicated to wood working.<br />
<br />
[[User:Doug Wilson|Doug Wilson]] is the Area Lead over the woodshop.<br />
<br />
The goal of the shop space is to encourage safe, continued learning of the skills needed to further your knowledge of woodworking!<br />

==Specific Tools==<br />
Please use the DeWalt DWV012 HEPA tool actuated dust extractor for capturing sanding dust connected to sanders to gather the fine sanding dust at the source, it is not a shop vacuum.<br />
[[File:DWV012.jpg]]<br />
<br />
==General Shop Safety==<br />
<br />
#Do not use any machine you are not trained on and comfortable using. If at any time you are unsure of what you are doing, stop immediately and ask for help. Do not force tools.<br />
#Do not use any machine that is not in good working order. Stop, unplug and leave a note on the machine and notify the Woodshop Lead.<br />
#NEVER ASSUME A TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED. Always check the tool prior to use.<br />
#Wear safety glasses at all times when in the shop area, including near the machine shop.<br />
#Ear protection is also recommended, many of the tools operate above 90 decibels and without protection, you are losing hearing.<br />
#When using power tools (including hand power tools):<br />
#*No open-toed shoes or loose clothing (remove drawstrings)<br />
#*Remove objects on hands and wrists (including rings, bracelets, & watches)<br />
#*Remove dangly necklaces, hair ornaments, and earrings<br />
#*Restrain long hair to prevent entanglement<br />
#*Do not wear gloves when operating machinery<br />
#While hand tools are safer than most power tools, they are the cause of most workshop injuries. Make sure all hand tools are sharp and in good condition. Be certain that you know how to use these tools in a way that is safe, effective, and will not damage the tool.<br />
#Do not leave machines running unattended.<br />
#Never talk to or disturb anyone operating power tools. If you must talk to an operator wait until the operator notices you.<br />
#Be aware of the work going on around you. Do not accidentally bump into another person or their materials while they are working.<br />
#Most shop accidents are caused by working tired, rushed or distracted. As you get more experience, you will learn to listen to the little voice in the back of your mind that says, you probably shouldn't do that. Stop and think, there is usually a safer way of performing that function. These machines do not have a brain, please use yours!<br />
<br />
==Woodshop Specific Safety==<br />
<br />
#All powered woodcutting and sanding tools must be run with dust collection or vacuum equipment connected to the appropriate ports and on at all times. Do not switch the dust collector on and off without time to cool, if you are planning on working with multiple tools, leave the collector on (repeated quickly turning on and off will overheat the motor).<br />
#Smoke or sparks are bad signs in the woodshop. Stop what you are doing and correct the problem. Usually correct feed and depth of cut or getting a sharp bit / blade will help.<br />
#No metal cutting allowed on woodshop equipment.<br />
#No wet or damp items of any type (including drink containers, rags, or hands) may be placed or left on machine surfaces as they will corrode.<br />
#Do not lean or sit on machinery, these are precision pieces of equipment and you can mis-align them.<br />
#You are responsible for cleaning your machines, your work space, and putting all tools away immediately after use. Scrap wood should be placed in designated locations. Use vacuums or hand brushes to clean machinery.<br />
#Users who consistently fail in their clean-up responsibilities may be denied shop access.<br />
#Do not use stationary equipment work surfaces for sanding, project assembly, layout, applying finishes, etc. Or for uses other than their intended purpose.<br />
#Make sure machines are in the “off” position and motion has stopped, before leaving them after use.<br />
#All safety guards must be kept in place while operating equipment. If a guard or safety device is an impediment to safe operation of a machine - ask for help.<br />
#Use equipment only for its intended use.<br />
#If you have made an adjustment to a piece of equipment, return it to its normal position after you are done.<br />
#Make sure the machine’s work surface is unobstructed and clean before use.<br />
#Always be aware of the proximity of moving machine parts to body parts - fingers.<br />
#Defects in the wood can be dangerous. Check the stock carefully for knots, splits, and other defects.<br />
#Keep the machine clean. Remove all tools, lumber, and unnecessary materials.<br />
#Objects left on the machine can vibrate into revolving cutters. They can then be thrown from the machine with great force. Never clean a machine while it is running.<br />
#All guests are the responsibility of the member, guests are not allowed to use equipment, unless authorized. This is a working shop, so children less than 9 years old are not allowed for safety.<br />
#DO NOT cut anything conductive such as mirrored acrylic, carbon based materials, or laser cutter waste on the Saw Stop tablesaw, the charred areas are carbon and because carbon is conductive, will set off the brake cartridge.<br />
#Member will be responsible for replacing the blade and Sawstop brake if the brake is fired for anything other than a true safety firing. If it is a true safety firing, we will need a photo of the fresh wound and SawStop will evaluate the recorded cartridge memory. If SawStop deems it to be a safety firing, they will need the photo and a release for marketing use and they send a replacement cartridge.<br />

==Commercial Sources for Wood==<br />
<br />
Purchasing hardwood lumber is very different from purchasing construction lumber. Note that Hardwood Lumber is a botanical term and is not related to the relative hardness of the wood. Hardwoods shed their leaves in the fall. Softwoods are evergreen. That is a general rule, and there are exceptions. Note also that Balsa and Basswood are classified as Hardwoods.<br />
<br />
See Wikipedia for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber#North_American_hardwoods more detail on terms, definitions, and practices involved in purchasing hardwoods in the US].<br />

<div>==Installing==<br />
You can download a 30-day trial of Lightburn here: https://lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy<br />
<br />
If you want to use it for more than 30 days on your personal machine you will need to purchase a license. The license normally costs $80, but we have a discount code to get it for $20 if you are only using it with the machines at MakeICT. Email fablab@makeict.org to get the code. You will use this discount code during the checkout process on their [https://lightburnsoftware.com/collections/frontpage/products/lightburn-dsp online store]. Otherwise you can use one of the laptops (currently installed only on numbers 1-8) or the design computer in the Fab Lab.<br />
<br />
Once Lightburn is installed you can copy the settings for our laser cutter into the appropriate place on your machine. Copy one of the settings files and rename it 'prefs.ini'. Open your Lightburn prefs folder (File > Open prefs folder) then close Lightburn. Remove the existing prefs.ini file and replace it with the one you downloaded. When you restart Lightburn you should have all the correct settings for our machines. There isn't a huge difference between the settings on our machines, so it doesn't really matter which you download and use.<br />

<div>=Setup=<br />
'''Caution: The rotary is large and heavy and will damage the machine if you run the head into it. Be VERY careful when setting up and using the tool to avoid the risk of collision. Remember that the machine will automatically move the head to the upper right-hand corner of the machine on startup. Always make sure the rotary is not in a position that will cause a collision during this homing process.''' <br />
<br />
*Turn machine on and lower the bed until there is sufficient height for the gantry to clear the rubber wheels on the rotary<br />
*Turn machine off and make sure the head is positioned at the far right side of the gantry<br />
*Place Rotary attachment in desired position on bed<br />
**Set it on top of a piece of scrap material to avoid damaging the honeycomb<br />
*With the Laser Cutter '''''OFF''''', plug rotary in to plug at right-hand side of machine and screw it in<br />
**'''Plugging/unplugging the rotary with the machine on can destroy the motor driver. DON’T DO IT!'''<br />
*Place the ''Precision Alignment Tool™'' on on the rollers with the flats facing towards the gantry<br />
*Press the flats up against the gantry to align, making sure the tool sits snugly on the wheels<br />
*Remove the alignment tool and double check that the '''head is to the right of the rotary attachment'''<br />
*Turn machine back on and hit "ESC" on the control panel to cancel homing<br />
*Press "Z/U" to open the menu and press the up arrow once to select "Reset Axes" and hit "Enter"<br />
*Select "Reset X Axis" and hit enter to home the X axis independently<br />
*Lower Bed to sufficient clearance for the workpiece and place it on the rubber wheels<br />
*Set the focus to your piece over the right-hand set of rubber wheels using the gauge block<br />
**Don't use the auto-focus as it puts too much pressure on the rotary<br />
*Move the head over the left-hand rubber wheels and set the height offset using the adjustment knob on the rotary<br />
*In Lightburn, go to 'Tools > Rotary Setup' and confirm the following settings:<br />
**'Roller' is selected<br />
**'Steps per rotation is' set to 288<br />
**Roller Diameter is set to 1.000mm<br />
**'Enable Rotary' slider is enabled (green)<br />
**The other settings don't seem to matter<br />
*Position the head at the desired start point and proceed as normal<br />
*When you are done, disable rotary mode '''before''' turning off the machine<br />
**If you don't do this the machine will not work properly for the next person using it for flat material.<br />
*'''Turn the machine off BEFORE unplugging the rotary'''<br />

<br />
*The magic number is '''288'''<br />
**Or at least pretty close. This number may be tweaked a little bit in the future.<br />
*If you are engraving an Item that has multiple diameters (like a wine bottle) and the diameter that is being driven by the wheels is not the same as the diameter being engraved on, you’ll need to do some math.<br />
**A Diameter = 114.6 x (Engrave Diameter / Drive Diameter)<br />
*If you are engraving on a tapered surface, your engraving will also be tapered, unless you skew the image before importing it.<br />
**This will need to be done in an external program<br />
**[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EemdWVQkUzgvltecQ4Er-gBORC276jbm1JkkpIyu7WU/edit?usp=sharing Here are some instructions on how to do it for vectors in Inkscape]<br />
*If you want the design to wrap all the way around the Y height will need to be equal to the circumference of the workpiece (can be tricky to join perfectly)<br />
**C = pi x Engrave Diameter<br />
*If the workpiece is too light and/or smooth it may slip on the rollers. <br />
**Weights can be used to eliminate this. Chunks of putty/clay work well for glasses.<br />

==About==<br />
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the creation of real-world, tangible objects from 3D virtual models. MakeICT maintains the following 3D printers:<br />
<br />
*[[Ultimaker 2]]<br />
*[[Rostock Max v2]]<br />
*[[Creality CR-10S]]<br />
*[[Prusa i3 MK3]]<br />
<br />
==Machine Access Policy==<br />
Use of the 3D printers requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizor or attendance in a 3D printer workshop that includes authorization.<br />
<br />
*Any member who has been authorized to use the 3D printer may peer-authorize other members<br />
*Authorization instruction must at least include<br />
**Fundamental knowledge of each printer's working principles<br />
**Proper use and control of each printer<br />
**Software workflow<br />
**How to change filament<br />
**How to pay for material<br />
<br />
==Filament Fund==<br />
Printing with filament provided by MakeICT costs $0.04 per gram. After printing, please weigh your print using the provided scale and put the appropriate amount of money in the filament fund jar. If you have any requests for new colors/types of filaments, you can post them in the Fab Lab category on [https://talk.makeict.org our forum], or send an email to fablab@makeict.org.<br />
<br />
==Workflow==<br />
===Slicing===<br />
Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.<br />
<br />
We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as laptops 1-6. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.<br />
<br />
To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.<br />
<br />
Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.<br />
<br />
G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.<br />
<br />
===Printing===<br />
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.<br />
<br />
The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:<br />
<br />
*Ultimaker 2: [http://ultimaker.makeict.org ultimaker.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality Ender 5 Plus: [http://Ender5.makeict.org ender5.makeict.org]<br />
*Creality CR-10: [http://creality.makeict.org creality.makeict.org]<br />
*Prusa i3 MK3 [http://prusa.makeict.org prusa.makeict.org]<br />
<br />
To run a print: select your file and click the print button.<br />
<br />
===Changing Filament===<br />
The process for changing filament depends on the printer you are using. For the [[Prusa i3 MK3|Prusa]] and the [[Creality CR-10S|Creality]] you will need to use the LCD menu. For the [[Ultimaker II|Ultimaker]] you can use the LCD menu or you can just set the temperature appropriately, squeeze the release lever, and pull the filament out/ push it in manually. The Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.<br />
<br />
==General Use Tips==<br />
<br />
*Always watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.<br />
<br />
*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.<br />
<br />
*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.<br />
<br />
*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''<br />
<br />
*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used<br />
<br />
*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!<br />
